Provided herein are novel methods of treating cerebral ischemia, comprising administering a polymer nanocapsule or a composition thereof. Said nanocapsules comprise a polymer shell and an RNAi (e.g., miRNA) molecule, wherein the polymer shell comprises a) at least one positively charged monomer, b) at least one degradable cross-linker, and c) at least one neutral monomer; and the RNAi molecule provides therapeutic benefits to a subject suffering from cerebral ischemia. Also disclosed herein are compositions of said polymer nanocapsules. |
